ENDOACTIVATOR
Increasing the efficacy of our irrigants helps overcome obstacles that are inherent within difficult to reach, intricate anatomy of pulpal systems. Attempts have been made to establish techniques and devices that help us prevail over the limitations that are present from the randomness that is root canal anatomy. At the forefront of methods to activate solutions for penetration into these complex spaces is the EndoActivator system (DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties).shows this sonically driven system designed to produce a hydrodynamic phenomenon. The increased exchange of irrigant produced by the EndoActivator, illustrated in Figure 8, enhances disinfection by improving solution circulation and penetration into anatomically complex spaces.15 In addition to increasing the penetration of our solutions, the forces generated may increase the biological activities of our irrigants. This safe activation of irrigants allows for bombardment of the solutions into remote, difficult to reach areas that exist within the recesses of pulpal systems. the challenge of reaching such small spaces that are distant from the main pulpal system. Even in vital cases, this holds significant importance, as retained tissue inhibits complete obturation. Moreover, this retained tissue serves as a future nutritional source for bacteria and therefore greatly impacts failures. In addition to the need to reach these remote areas of pulpal anatomy, our efforts need to extend even further. Bacteria have been shown to penetrate and colonize within dentinal tubules of an infected root canal system.electron micrograph of the anatomy of dental tubules.
